Abstract: Polymers having soft segments with bio-degradability has wide applications in the bio-medical engineering. This tempted us to do the present investigation. Poly(tetrahydrofuran) (PTHF) (a soft polymer with bio-degradability) was synthesized by solution polymerization at 450C for 24 hours under nitrogen atmosphere in the presence of phthalicanhydride (PAH) as a co-monomer cum activator and with three different mercaptoacid initiators through ring opening polymerization (ROP) method. Thus obtained polymer, PTHF was characterized by various analytical techniques like fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, UV-visible.................Read more

LITTER CHARACTERISTICS OF DOMINANT TREES AT THE MAIN CAMPUS OF SEBELAS MARET UNIVERSITY AS A POTENTIAL SOURCE OF COMPOST PRODUCTION.

Abstract:Green Campus Program as responses to the problem of global climate change has become a major concern in the world. Availability of green open space with tree community is a demand for healthy environment. However, it produces organic waste in the form of litter that requires treatment to use as potential materials for compost production. The identification, quantification and characterization of organic waste biomass was conducted to measure the quality and quantity of potential materials contained for compost . The results showed that the production of waste from main campus of Sebelas Maret University at Kentingan was around ................Read more
